I FOUND A HOLY GRAIL DOLL THRIFTING... AGAIN!! - American Girl thrift doll hunt and haul

[@Zombiecupcake157]

Last week, I approached a guy in Goodwill with an in box American Girl doll he found!!! It was a 2002 Pleasant Company Kaya! He asked if I were to have it, would I resell it. I said NO!! I’m a collector! He ended up giving it to me. 🧡 $19.99!

[@WeebaLu]

The pants on Cecile are Julie's original meet pants! :D That's an amazing find, I can't believe you managed to find Cecile in the wild! I'll be keeping an eye out for that Cecile cleanup video, I'd love to follow it so I can figure out how to clean up my childhood Cecile. Lol

How fun to thrift with your friend. I have checked out her channel. I will go watch the video. Just after Christmas I found a super cute American Girl Slumber party set at Costco for 40 dollars. She has dark skin and super curly hair. So pretty. I gave her to my preschooler. She was so amazed by her. She carefully lifted her from the box and said shes my doll. I almost cried. It was a precious moment. I have not seen her like that with a doll. She has lots of dolls. She still refused to take the hairnet off the doll. She has a my generation doll she took everywhere and a 2nd hand american girl with a short short hair cut she loves as is. So now she has this one that she is so careful with. Its cute. The set has a bed /chair pillow and blanket. Its so cute.

I also find American Girl brand vastly more appealing than other 18” dolls. I live in a medium city in Canada, so they don’t show up on the second-hand market very often. However, our national book seller, Indigo (similar to your Barnes & Noble), used to be an AG retailer for 10 years. They just ended their contract and were clearing out all remaining AG stock. I got at least 10 dolls, including Courtney, for as low as $35 USD brand new. Now I have no space or money, but it was literally a one-time opportunity. I look forward to seeing your restoration of Cecile.

[@Drac_claw]

ahh me too

[@nikkilyne36]

Lol

[@xCanadensis]

Aw I hope you have a good night 😭

[@corrupttears69]

I don’t collect American girl but Courtney is one I had my eye on. When I go thrifting I almost never see American girl when I have it’s usually like 50 behind the display.

[@ALT-vz3jn]

I love Courtney so much! As an 80’s kid I really identify with her. I have almost everything in her collection.

[@xCanadensis]

She’s a really cute character! I’m very excited to clean her up and look into her collection more since I’ve been avoiding it… didn’t want to tempt myself since I knew I could get her cheaper second hand aha

[@toastyotaku42]

No one told me there was an 80's AG historical doll! She's so cute!

[@neuvinas]

I'm not really into american girl dolls as a collection subject for myself but i loveeee your restoration videos and love how excited people get about AG dolls so I'm looking forward to Cecile's restoration video

[@Foleysfables]

You had amazing American Girl luck for this haul, congrats! I love that blue haired girl, I'm always fond of bright hair colours

[@mandycrago]

I love ordinary boom boxes too. CDs still rule❤

[@nicoleluna31]

I recently bought my holy grail AG historical doll kanani worth every penny lol I found street chin blue hair at Ross too I was very happy and shocked lol than I ordered street chic blue and purple streak ❤

[@idreamofjonny]

I’m sooo jealous of that $30 Courtney! One day I wanna find a cheap one so I can crimp her hair

[@chrisdang6218]

It is the best feeling to find an AG doll my only one so far is my goodwill $5 AG I think she is a truely me but either eay was so happy to find her

[@claudiaromo2730]

Just woke up 😂… I’ve been a subscriber for maybe 3 months now, I love to collect some dolls you do such as Monster High, Rainbow High, MLP, Barbie, and American Girl. I enjoy your content and love your thrifting/shopping videos. I’m so happy you found Cecile. (Did I spell it wrong 😅) Hope you have a great day/ night/ evening! ❤

[@sarahhauck3415]

I've actually found American girl dolls in the porcelain doll pile at thrift stores...so always worth a peek!

[@delbelcoure]

Courtney is so cute! I remember getting a spiral perm in the 80s. FYI, a spiral perm with shoulder blade length hair take 3 rods per curl; my hair is thick, so I ended up with a headache from the weight of the rods.

[@sweetpea0308]

Hi Brooke!!! I just found American girl #28 and Caroline at my local thrift store for $10 each!!! I was sooooo excited. They were in really good condition and I am super happy to add them to my small but growing collection. 🙂🙂

[@AGTimewithAngela]

Wow, what an awesome American Girl find! That's so cool!

[@christibailey5153]

My daughter, now 39, had the Clara doll for Samantha.

[@abbajoys7694]

What do you think about the Disney Princess American Girl collection?

[@FunTime-jw6zx]

She’s so pretty 🤩 you never fail to disappoint us :))

[@xCanadensis]

I’m so excited!! :D

[@TotallyDolls]

WOW! Good find! I love your American Girl doll haul!

[@lyndsaysrebornnurseryoffib4241]

I would love the miss piggy doll she’s so cute! I need extra rooms in my house for my collections!I love the American girl doll blue hair she’s so beautiful

[@xCanadensis]

The muppets dolls are SO cute but I have to be a little picky sometimes ahaha

[@queenbeanscollectibles5677]

This was a blast 🎉🥳 still so pumped about the deals you got!!!!

[@reekyteek5636]

I really enjoy the thrifting/second hand videos

[@Th3.gr3mlin.al3x]

This was really nice to see after I helped my mom sort through her old barbies last night (we were deciding what to keep and what to sell) it took a bit XD

[@MsLanie]

I so wanted to be where you were to get those Ty fish (they looked like Aruba and Lips) I have a small collection of aquatic animals, including the Beanie Buddy Lips, and they're one of my favourite parts of my plushie collection. It was also interesting to see the Coca Cola pelican - he is also in my collection, although I have absolutely no idea where I got him. It was cool that you found Cecile! Congrats!

[@smartdollfamilythia6081]

What a wonderful find!!! We really don’t have great thrift stores in our area. But this was fun!✨💜✨

[@dolls_onthego]

What a ag score!! Congrats ❤ and yes Cecile was in Julie’s pants

[@rongreen2976]

I saw a red sign hanging from a shelf that said SALE 50% off near the Fairytopia doll @7:50 mark, but you panned away so fast I couldn't tell if it was the seller's booth.

[@xCanadensis]

Ohhh I missed that! Good eye! I do think $25 is completely outrageous for an out of box Barbie in a setting like this but I am pretty cheap haha

[@rongreen2976]

@@xCanadensis Me, too. I did see three fairytopia dolls recently in the doll bin at my local thrift store last week, but they were all missing their wings and skirts, and had messy hair so I passed. I think it will be hard to find them complete.

[@ameliasommers3331]

the pants cecile was wearing are julie’s original meet outfit pants

[@virgo1986ful]

One I found Nanea at my flea market but I didn’t get her because the lady who was selling her was asking to much for her

[@B1rdBird]

what shelves do you have for your dolls?

[@JessicaLayman-ky1ut]

Awww

[@emmaphilo4049]

I love the Shoppies mermaid, never seen it where I live (France). I would have grabbed her immediately, especially for 1$. She is adorable

[@xCanadensis]

Can you imagine if they’d done the big shoppies dolls as mermaids?! So cute!!

[@peacheswhite38]

Mrs.Beautiful xCanadensis u are de best luv ure videos!!!!@

[@Bowser14456]

15:45 i stg i saw this exact Barbie in box at a thrift store recently, but i didn't buy her cause i dont collect barbies. I almost did tho but i think she was like $20-$30 so that wasn't worth it to me anyway 😂

[@Bowser14456]

I'll take the Miraculous merch lol. 10:12 Will Smith Genie doll?

[@soap_soap]

THANK YOU FOR THIS FOOD 🛐🎉

[@xCanadensis]

Thank you for watching 🥺

[@soap_soap]

@@xCanadensis always seated 🫂

[@iamsoverybored878]

I got a 2007 Holiday Barbie in box for $15 at Savers. The 90s ones were around $60. They are pretty much worth the same. Not a huge fan of AG they are huge and expensive. Got a Wellie Wisher used because i thought she was cute. But i regret it. I'm afraid to even touch her because i heard their legs pop off. Didn’t see what the fuss was with the quality.

[@xCanadensis]

The quality thing with AG doesn’t really extend to wellie’s aha! I’ve never had one of their legs pop off and I’ve thrifted them! I think that was only an issue at first but idk

[@iamsoverybored878]

@xCanadensis Should, though, they retail for $65 that's a lot of money for a doll made for a 4 year old. I heard about the legs popping off from reviews. I got Camille because with her short hair, she's usually the easiest to get in the best condition used.

[@xCanadensis]

The quality is there but they’re not as expensive for nice as AG. I don’t really think AG dolls are worth their price (or anything near it) either so you’re preaching to the choir here aha! The wellie’s are quality in the sense that children can beat them pretty mercilessly and they can be restored easily. The vinyl they’re made out of is high quality, the clothing is very nice and the hair and eyes are easier to care for. AG’s have strings and cloth bodies and weighted eyes which are all going to be prone to breaking and damage and require special care that some younger kids aren’t ready for. I thrift my AG’s because I don’t really need to buy them new to have them in great condition because the quality of the hair and vinyl usually means I can restore them to perfection with very little effort. So I can confidently say they’re good quality dolls. Not $100+ quality though. They used to be even nicer, especially with the clothes and accessories but now Mattel owns them so… they’ve pulled a Mattel with them

[@chickpea]

Score on the BAB buddies axolotl!

[@xCanadensis]

I was so shocked!!

[@sammyclegg]

Hey Brooke, what an absolute steal you got those dolls for, well done!! Question: how do you keep the dust down on your shelves with all your collections on? Just wondered?

[@xCanadensis]

Haha I get asked that a LOT! I show it in my doll room tour just by chance because we pass a shelf I haven’t dusted. Truly I just don’t have a dusty house? Not 100% sure why!

[@sammyclegg]

@@xCanadensis that's funny, and you with Lego too!! My cat leaves fur everywhere, she's very furry (& fat). When you suss out how you keep the dust down please pass it on to me. Love your channel Brooke, you're so entertaining & interesting. Another question which you've probs been asked a million times... why are you called XCanadensis? sorry but I can't seem to find any answers to this in any videos.

[@hannahelizabeth8698]

the pants on Cecile is Julie’s :)

[@xCanadensis]

Huge bonus because my Julie doesn’t have her pants hehe

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

Nice ❤😊

[@Art3misSky]

I think that fairytopia was 50% off..,idk if that matters haha

[@jackiecook8753]

Are Zelfs a spin off or related to trolls ?

[@CrimsonBlood4242]

Is that a Neopets hat? And I have two My Little Pony Build A Bears, Eevee, Pikachu and just the basic brown bear. That I found at 2nd hand shops.

[@xCanadensis]

It is a Neopets hat! :) That’s awesome you’ve found so many! I don’t really find the Pokémon ones often but the MLP ones are super common

[@husky2433_]

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ApprenticeWriter]

Comment for algorithm!

[@xCanadensis]

Ahh thank you!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

She’s in really bad shape though 😳 she needs a trip to the doll hospital.

[@xCanadensis]

She absolutely doesn’t 😭 it would legitimately only require conditioning her hair to make it perfect again, I’ll show it in a video soon. I’ve restored far worse dolls to nearly perfect condition. AG hair is easy. I wish people realized that but I guess it makes the second hand market better for me since people are scared of it lol
